Rivera:

I really think that we just missed opportunities... We played a good first half... We had an opportunity to start the second half, got to 3rd and 12, you've got to make that play, you've got to understand what the coverage call is, you've got to understand your technique, push through to your technique and make the play. Bottom line, I'm not going to sugar coat it, we have to get better at those things.

Opportunities to make plays - I mean at 3rd and 12, we don't get off the field, then they get a big play down the field, then they are in field goal range, then it's 3rd down and we have a chance to stop them, but they pick it up, next thing you know they score a touchdown. I mean, we are not consistent on third down.

Until the second half I thought they came out and did some great things... We played the way you'd like in the first half but this game is four quarters. One thing I liked was the way the offense went down the field and got the touchdown and made the two point conversion to tie it at 35 35 as well gave ourselves a chance to tie the game and who knows what happens after that. Then they come out and throw a big one to 81...

Cam:

We came out explosive. That's how football is supposed to be played. Plays were called and executed, blocking, plays were in there. Second half we came out and it was as if we were just trying to hold on. Can't do that to a team like this with the explosive offense the talent they ahve on defense, have to be in attack mode all four quarters.

To some degree I do, it's the small things taht are impacting us in a big way. Finishing, executing, decision making, you know, those things you have to master in this league or you are going to get exposed. This game we put on a clinic on how to lose a game, simple and plain, going out on a limb to say it but we can't lose games like that but somehow we did.

Anyone else bugged by the way Rivera says the word "play?"

Same poo different week with these press conferences. Although Cam looks slightly less like Mopeyhead progressively after these losses. Hmm.

He should. It was better than last week. But giving up that many yardage and points is just terrible

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
